Part of Operation Inherent Resolve

These strikes were conducted as part of Operation Inherent
Resolve, the operation to destroy ISIS in Iraq and Syria. The destruction of
ISIS targets in Iraq and Syria also further limits the group's ability to
project terror and conduct external operations throughout the region and the
rest of the world, task force officials said.

Ground-based artillery fired in counterfire or in fire
support to maneuver roles is not classified as a strike, they added. A strike,
as defined by the coalition, refers to one or more kinetic engagements that
occur in roughly the same geographic location to produce a single or cumulative
effect.

For example, task force officials explained, a single
aircraft delivering a single weapon against a lone ISIS vehicle is one strike,
but so is multiple aircraft delivering dozens of weapons against a group of
ISIS-held buildings and weapon systems in a compound, having the cumulative
effect of making that facility harder or impossible to use. Strike assessments
are based on initial reports and may be refined, officials said.

The task force does not report the number or type of
aircraft employed in a strike, the number of munitions dropped in each strike,
or the number of individual munition impact points against a target.
